What does a home inspection cover?

A home inspection covers the home's major visible and accessible systems: the roof, structure and foundation, exterior and grading, attic and insulation, electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, and the interior — documented in a photo-mapped report. In Minnetonka we also probe EIFS, scope the sewer, and evaluate lake-adjacent moisture risks calibrated to the local housing stock.

Systems we evaluate

Roof to footing: roof covering and flashing, foundation and structure, electrical service and panel, plumbing supply and drains, HVAC, the building envelope, and interior finishes and safety devices. See the full home inspection page and our systems overview.

Locally-calibrated additions

Because of where we work, we add EIFS moisture probing on synthetic stucco, a sewer scope for root intrusion, and close attention to walkout-basement moisture and ice-dam-prone rooflines.
